SELF-POWERED SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Start by initiating motion; after the system receives the signal, turn the knob to power on. The machine enters standby mode and can be connected to the Blu Blue oor started ddirectlybuttongforr the operator to commence normal movement. The knobwill display workout parameters, and rotating it adjusts resistance levels.
2. During exercise, the built-in generator produces electricity to power the knob display and resistance adjustment. Extra energy is intelligently converted and stored in the built-in energy storage battery.
3. When exercise stops, the energy storage battery continues to supply power to theknob and resistance adjustment system. If there is no activity for 3 minutes, the knobenters sleep mode, and the battery power system goes into deep sleep to preserve energy.
4. If the device is unused for an extended period, the energy storage battery may experience slight power consumption, potentially leading to insufficient battery capacity. If the machine continuously runs without display or flickering, run the machine continuously for over 10 minutes to charge the energy storage battery. Alternatively, charge the battery through the universal Type-C port at the rear of the machine(input: 5V/1A). This ensures the battery has sufficient power to drive the knob and allows simultaneous charging during workout sessions.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE

If you are a fitness enthusiast, then it’s essential to keep your fitness equipment in good condition for optimal performance and longevity. Here are some crucial maintenance steps to follow:

Keep the Equipment Clean:
It’s crucial to maintain cleanliness by wiping down the surfaces with a mild cleaner, especially the parts that come into frequent contact, such as the handles, seat, and rail. Avoid using acidic or alkaline cleaners, and refrain from using water or cleaners on the digital display screen. Pay extra attention to the slide rail, ensuring it remains clean and is running smoothly.

Regularly Check Moving Parts:
Regularly inspect the moving parts, such as the arms, wheels, pedals, etc., to ensure they are functioning smoothly and free of damage. If you notice any malfunctions, get them repaired as soon as possible, and regularly lubricate the moving parts to keep them running smoothly.

Inspect Electronic Components:
Regularly inspect the electronic components, such as the display screen, wires, and sensors, to ensure they are in good condition. If you notice any damage or malfunctions, contact the MERACH TEAM.

Check and Tighten Hardware:
Regularly check the hardware, such as screws and bolts, for looseness and tighten them as needed. Regular use of the equipment can cause vibrations that may loosen parts over time, so tightening them regularly will keep your equipment in top condition.

By following these maintenance steps, you can ensure your fitness equipment remains in excellent condition and prolong its life span for many workouts to come.
